The House just passed the H.R. 4 John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021. The democrats claim this bill would strengthen the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but there are many repercussions and dangers in the passing of this new bill, as it takes power away from state and local governments. Zach Smith, Legal Fellow, Heritage Foundation, gives us the rundown on the H.R. 4 Bill.
Just yesterday, the U.S. Embassy sent out a message, urging Americans to evacuate and avoid the gates at the airport in Kabul. Mike Slater, desperate for hope, thought maybe, just maybe, the American military wanted to start some type of operation to gain control and help the stranded to safety. Now, we are all faced with reports of the bombings in Kabul, causalities reported, and even reports of an Italian plane being shot at during takeoff. Nearly two dozen San Diego students and families are now trapped in Afghanistan, and hope is now diminishing as the Afghanistan crisis worsens. Mike Slater shares his thoughts on the dire situation in Afghanistan.
From Afghanistan to COVID and even a federal takeover of elections, there is a ton to talk about right now. Mike Slater has you covered on all three of the topics. You won’t want to miss a new study Mike has uncovered on the effectiveness of masks, nor will you want to miss the analysis from a retired lieutenant colonel on Afghanistan. Plus, Zack Smith breaks down everything you need to know about the John Lewis Voting Rights trap.
We are in the midst of one of the largest hostage crises in American history. The administration is clueless as to how many Americans are actually stranded, and we are just six days away from the Taliban’s ‘red line.’ How is it going to be possible that the U.S. evacuates all those stranded in Afghanistan, when they have no control over anything anymore, and they are at the mercy of the Taliban? Here we have White House Spokesperson, Jen Psaki, saying they will help those who WANT to come home. The government are implying that people DON’T want to come home? This administration needs to get a grip, because this is an embarrassing failure for the ages. Mike Slater spreads the word on how President Biden is trying to trick you, and how he plans to deflect from the crisis.
American citizens stranded in Afghanistan have no way of getting to the airport. Have you seen the horrific scenes in and around Kabul? Chaos and desperation ensue, as the Taliban have completely taken over. Others are working all around the world to get those stranded out of Afghanistan, but our administration has no lack of accountability, and is just deflecting on its abysmal failures. President Biden and our administration have humiliated us, and no American likes that. Lt. Col. James Jay Carafano, Vice President for National Security and Foreign Policy at the Heritage Foundation, joins us to discuss how Biden has lost our country.
President Biden’s Afghanistan strategy is a disaster and Mike Slater is ready to expose what’s coming next. Also, mask mandates are back in certain parts of the countries and one state has even required masks outdoors. How do we put an end to all of this? Mike has thoughts. Plus, appearances from Lt. Col. James Jay Carafano and Rick Green.
We have seven days to complete the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan. Seven days. That’s the deadline that the Taliban gave to President Biden. Are we at now at the whim of the Taliban? Robert Wilke, Former VA Secretary and Air Force Reservist, sits down with Mike Slater to evaluate the latest on the crisis in Afghanistan.
Fear makes people do irrational things. When people are scared, they do things that they never would have even dreamed of doing. Hence the fear-mongering amongst the COVID-19 pandemic. Australians killing dogs due to COVID-19 restrictions, requiring two-year olds to wear masks, doctors refusing to treat unvaccinated patients, taking children away from in-person learning; These examples all stem from a place of fear. Mike Slater shares his perspective on how fear makes people to irrational things and leads people to do the unthinkable, and how this all ties in to why we can’t trust our experts.
Don’t trust the experts! Mike Slater has multiple examples of experts lying to you whether it’s with COVID-19 or Afghanistan and he’s ready to share them with you. Mike also delivers a strong life lesson about morality. Plus, things have gotten so bad that even Adam Schiff admitted it. Mike has the details.
The Taliban may have gotten the biggest U.S. military jackpot in the history of the world, and now they are not only mocking President Biden by wearing OUR U.S. military gear, but the Taliban also mocked the iconic WWII photo of U.S. Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima. There is no doubt that this is all Biden’s fault. It’s a full-on failure, and the Taliban are making a mockery out of us and our weak government. Mike Slater shares his thoughts on the absolute disgrace of an administration and its catastrophic attempt of a withdrawal in Afghanistan.
The U.S. government admits that they don’t have an accurate number as to how many Americans are stranded in Afghanistan. U.S. citizens are being told to evacuate to the nearest airport as soon as possible, yet the government cannot guarantee their safety. Now, those Americans are told to steer clear of the dangers in and around the airport. The crisis on the ground in Afghanistan and outside the Kabul airport is just getting worse, but are all the critics being too harsh on Joe Biden? John Hayward, Breitbart News National Security Deputy Editor, shares his take on that, and the scenes outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.
The Pfizer vaccine has received full FDA approval. What does that mean for future COVID-19 mandates? Mike Slater has the answer. Plus, President Biden’s approval rating is plummeting due to the crisis ongoing in Afghanistan. Mike is joined by Breitbart’s John Hayward and Major Glenn Ignazio to discuss the administration’s disastrous withdrawal.
